My Top 10 Something or Another.
This week's category: RESTAURANTS
10. Chipotle (National Chain)

Burritos the size of a small dog! Always good and nice place to eat healthy food.
Favorite dish: Steak burrito with hot sauce, cheese, and guacamole.
9. Gordon Biersch (Kansas City, MO)

Never had a bad meal here.
Favorite dish: Gorgonzola Bone-In Ribeye 18 oz., topped with gorgonzola butter,
served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables
8. Mustard's (Des Moines, IA)

Home of the Sauce Man! Great BBQ.
Favorite Dish: Hot Italian Sausage Sandwich. Served on an Italian style hoagie bun pattied, char-grilled, topped with melted mozzarella cheese.
7. Las Vegas (Hollywood, FL)
Amazing Cuban Cuisine!
Favorite Dish: Baby Churrasco. Skirt steak with white rice, black beans and plantains.
6. Hong Kong Inn (Springfield, MO)
In a city with about a million Chinese restaurants, this is my favorite.
Favorite Dish: Beef Fried Rice
5. El Charrito (Georgetown, TX)
Hole-in-the-Wall Mexican with huge portions.
Favorite Dish: Steak Fajitas
4. Chuy's (Austin, TX)

True Tex-Mex. Awesome atmosphere.
Favorite Dish: Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. Beef enchilada, chicken enchilada, cheese enchilada, crispy taco, beans and rice.
3. Scornovacca's (Des Moines, IA)

Best Pizza I've had!
Favorite Dish: Italian Sausage and Mushroom Pizza
2. Cheesecake Factory (National Chain)

Don't let the name fool you. So much more than just cheesecake. Entrees are wonderful! So much food.
Favorite Dish: Bistro Shrimp Pasta. Crispy Battered Shrimp, Fresh Mushrooms, Tomato and Arugula Tossed with Spaghettini and a Basil-Garlic-Lemon Cream Sauce.
1. Tasty Tacos (Des Moines, IA)


The mother of all restaurants. I would probably eat here everyday if I still lived in Des Moines. There are days I strongly consider driving the 6 hours from Wichita just to have it.
Favorite Dish: Flour Original Tacos. Deep fat fried tortillas and the best hot sauce I have ever put in my mouth.

don't forget Mi Ranchito in Overland Park, KS. we drove for an hour trying to find that place!
That was very close to making the list. I just haven't been there enough.
